Laura T. Schmidt, NP-C

Nurse Practitioner

Laura is a certified nurse practitioner, who, in collaboration with Dr. Spezia, will identify, diagnose and initiate a treatment plan for patients with com-promised bone health. Laura seeks to improve access and quality of care to those in our community who are at risk for compromised bone health and those who suffer from a fragility fracture. The goal of our Bone Health Clinic is to improve our patients’ quality of life by increasing awareness of bone health, identify patients at risk for compromised bone health, initiate a treatment plan and reduce poor bone quality and fragility fractures.

Laura is a member of the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Committed to ongoing education, she attended the Interdisciplinary Symposium on Osteoporosis 2016. She earned her certificate of completion for the Fracture Liaison Service (FLS), a coordinated model of care which aims to deliver appropriate fracture risk assessment and treatment of osteoporosis to all patients with fragility fractures.

Laura also works alongside Dr. Brian Meek to manage the conditions and medications of our pain patients at Advanced Bone & Joint.
